Hmmm. I wouldn't bother doing another repair after this, as some items just don't seem to repair themselves. How about you try the following:
* Go to your Finder. * Open your Macintosh HD * Open the System folder. * Open the Library folder * Open the Core Services folder. * Open the Battery item. Now try accessing your Menu Extras again with VO-m-m and see if the Battery Status menu is available. If it is, then do the same process to get some of the other extras back onto the Status Menus. If that doesn't do it, let me know. Later...
